Beaches and Boat Rides
Why is it that vacation time is at least double the speed of regular time? Anyone figured out that little quandary of quantum physics yet? it just goes by too darn fast.
… I slept in… read three books from cover to cover… made some progress on my knitting… ate way too much candy… went to an arboretum… walked on the beach with my nieces… took many photographs… went on a boat ride… stayed up late… my vacation in a nutshell 
The Adkins Arboretum is a privately owned sanctuary on Maryland’s Eastern Shore, near the Delaware state line. They are dedicated to the native plants and trees of Maryland and the Mid-Atlantic states. Kris and I so enjoyed strolling around the trails and looking at all of the flowers, trees, and mushrooms.

Since I got back earlier in the week, my knitting progress has been so slow… this is why I hesitated to blog, honestly… truth is, I have spent a lot more time with my nose in books, in the garden, in the kitchen, or in the yoga studio rather than knitting right now. So, at least for a little while, I will be sharing blog posts of book reviews, recipes, and gardening shots – hope this is agreeable! I won’t be such a stranger…
Sounds like a great vacation! And as much as I love seeing your knitting, I enjoy hearing about your books and yoga activities too.
You write it, I’ll read it.
Books, recipes, and gardening shots?!? Fabulous!
Nice photos! That sunset is amazing.
What stunning photos! Looks like a lovely vacation!
Such great photos Lolly! I for one need some book recommendations…I’m all ears!
I agree with Leslie!
Your pictures are making me long for my vacation in August. I can’t wait to hear about what you have been up to – knitting related or not.
Look at the ospreys! We have quite a population of them around here, including a mating pair which nests about 200 yards from my mothers house every year. What a joy to watch them fly!
I always slow down knitting-wise in the summer too! there are to many seasonal things to do, and in MN the summer only last about 2 months!!
Looks like a fantastic vacation. Great bird shot!
I’ve totally slowed down in my knitting. I think I’ve knitted two rows in the last two months. Just not interested. More interested in gardening and reading also. I definitely must be summer.
Glad you had a nice vacation. As for writing about other stuff than knitting: No worries! Write about what love and what you happen to be doing at the moment, and I’ll enjoy reading it!
